baat karanii mujhe mushkil kabhii aisii to na thii

baat karanii mujhe mushkil kabhii aisii to na thii
jaisii ab hai terii mahafil kabhii aisii to na thii

lay gayaa chhiin ke kaun aaj teraa sabr-o-qarar
be-qaraarii tujhe ae dil kabhii aisii to na thii


chashm-e-qaatil merii dushman thii hameshaa lekin
jaise ab ho gaii qaatil kabhii aisii to na thii


unakii aaNkhon ne Khudaa jaane kiyaa kyaa jaaduu
ke tabiiyat merii maa_yel kabhii aisii to na thii


aks-e-ruKh-e-yaar ne kis kay hai tujhe chamakaayaa
taab tujh men mah-e-kaamil kabhii aisii to na thii


kyaa sabab tuu jo bigartaa hai 'Zafar' se har baar
Khuu terii huur-e-shamaa_yel kabhii aisii to na thii
